I really loved Cloverfield! Saw it on opening night. After our screening, we saw posters for
The Signal which looks awesome too. So I’m pretty excited to see that again! All of the great
horror movies coming out is making this a really great movie season.

This movie was incredibly well done. At the very beginning the shaky cam is annoying, but you get used to it pretty quickly, and it’s plenty worth it.
Best monster movie i’ve ever seen, easily.

I saw it opening day and the day after. Do yourself a favor, get some friends together, and GO SEE THIS MOVIE!

I am dissapointed in people that think they’re critics. To those that spend a year trying to solve the mystery of the monster, nice try, but bravo anyways.

I say this the night of the 17th (the midnight premier) and I avoided the whole hype of it, as I don’t watch much TV. I figured I’d go see it because the plot sounded interesting. The first five minute, yes… I was feeling a little dizzy from the camera, but once the “cameraman” hands it off to the next guy– ‘Hud’ gets a few shots of sake and tons of beer in ‘em he’s fine to shoot, pretty well I might add. I have no complains about the camera besides the beginning, because it was unecessary.

In the style of another comment here:
NO, Not much is really explained, but does it HAVE to be? Do the ‘good guys’ always have to prevail?
NO, it isn’t crap.
YES, definately original. I think JJ Abrams accomplished his goal for America’s own monster to rival Japan’s Godzilla.
YES it is a damn good movie.

It was like an action-suspense/action-drama/action-horror/action-scifi. Did I mention action? Very good balance of all the genres, but mostly action.

Yeeeeeeeeah, action…. Awesome.

The film was good fun and a great way of introducing us to the story, which, I hope, will be continued bigger and better next year. This monster has potential and it is creepy to boot.

OK. I just saw this movie, and I wish i hadn’t. It’s terrible. The use of constant 1st person view throughout the film really gets boring and annoying especially when the guy holding the “hand-held” camera is a moron and gets really annoying. There is no explanation of anything at all. Where is came from, What it is, Why does it have things spawning off it and even Did we kill it? not even that is explained everyone just dies. its ridiculous.
If you will listen to me, which i really recommend you do.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR EYESIGHT ON THIS FILM.
Nothing makes sense, it doesn’t even entertain you at all.
YES its original
YES its different
YES its shit.
Also, the shaky cam is over done and by the quality of the film he must’ve had a massive camera over his shoulder the whole time because its don’t in 16mm film quality

We seem to treat seeing movies in the theatre like some sort of reflection on our judgement, like its some sort of social “investment” that says something about us. Fellas, its going to see a movie in the theatre. You might be spending an extra 2.50 watching it in the theater vs. renting it and seeing it on your tiny boob tube. Please.

I respect the filmaker’s decisions, from what i’ve seen so far to brave the shaky barfamatography and check it out. Plus, that’s the only way you can really find out if its “over-hyped” or not.

And for the record, over-hyped = good marketing.
